Every year, thousands of tons of radish by-products generated during kimchi production are discarded despite containing valuable carbon and nutrient resources. Researchers at the World Institute of Kimchi (WiKim) have developed a genome-scale model-guided microbial engineering strategy that enables these agricultural by-products to be converted into biodegradable bioplastics while rationally engineering microbial strains specifically for radish hydrolyzate.

    World Institute of Kimchi? Holy Moly. So maybe the “Hamburger University” from that American movie is real, too?
